To be nobody but yourself, in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you anyone else, means fighting the hardest battle which any human being can ever fight...And never stop fighting.
-E. E. Cummings

The sound of emptiness
that fills my room when you're not there
deafens my ears while I pursue your love.

Some wishfor silence,
but not me.
I prefer the steady thump, thump, thump

Of your heart
beneath my ear
while I'm lying against your chest.
